  There is no doubt that the food at The Block is good. I wouldn't say the steak is great but the white wine pork was wonderful if you're into heavy food. My biggest complaint is you cannot make reservations, not even for a large party which resulted in almost a 2 hour wait. On top of that we had a birthday in which case I brought a 5 inch cake surrounded by cupcakes. I asked them to keep it in the kitchen for me only to be told that if you bring in a cake there is a 2.50 per person fee similar to a corkage fee as if I brought in a bottle of wine. Seriously, there was no effort required on anyone's part for me to bring this cake in. Even if they didn't store it in the back while we ate there is still a $2.50 per person fee. I hardly think I should have to pay an additional $25.00 to bring in a $12.00 cake after we just spent over $500 eating there. This policy will have me not returning to this restaurant, like a said the food is good, not great.

  This place is really cute and cozy, not huge, big enough to always feel busy but never too full. The happy hour is great to get started with (note the happy hour is only in the bar area which is not big so get there early), and the food is always really great. I'm a veggie/fish eater and I've always been happy with my food and my friends/family, most of whom are meat eaters, love it as well. I will say it's a bit pricier than I'd like, because I'd like to go there more often, but otherwise I would definitely recommend.
